“I cannot put a value on this training. It has and will touch and change every part of my life for the better. I have learned skills I can use cooking for my family of six or in a work environment. I have developed ideas for business and enriched my love of humanity, the environment and myself!” – Lisa Ward, Vegan Fusion Cuisine intensive student

“The workshop is not only great for experienced vegans and vegetarians, but also for anybody who is just interested in healthy living. Even as a non-vegetarian, I learned so many incredible recipes that I can’t wait to try!” – Aki Morita, 10-Day Vegan Fusion Cuisine intensive student

“I’ve been vegan for many years. This chef intensive has given me the confidence and hands-on experience to support my healthy lifestyle and the health of my clients. My awareness and understanding of vegan food preparation and presentation make this training a big success for me. I highly recommend it.” – Rivers Cynthia Blake, 10-Day Vegan Fusion Cuisine intensive student

“The Vegan Fusion training has provided the opportunity for me to better my health, the health of the environment, and to develop potential business opportunities. The course was so packed full of information, it’s given me a holistic base of training from which to approach food preparation. Mark is very friendly and focused on extending his knowledge to his students. The ability to interact with him and ask specific questions that I had was invaluable to my overall understanding of cooking. I feel this course was a great investment in my quality of life for generations to come! “- Kristin ten Broeck, 10-Day Vegan Fusion Cuisine intensive student

I heard from a professionall vegan chef that you are an outstanding one.
I’d be very interested in taking you Vegan Fussion Training next time is held.
I’m a neuro-nutitionist who sees food, that is healthy and veg-vegan, as the best answer to neuro-disorders.
Being a veg-vegan since childhood I can attest to the myriad benefits of this life-style.
Also I love preparing healthy and tasty food. Being a European and coming from a background of amazing cooks in my familly and culture, I’ve integrated a lot of these flavors into my cooking which have contributed greatlly into converting a number of friends into this lifestyle once they have dinner at my home.
Thus I certainly will love to expand my cooking skills, and have the gret experience of participating in your training.

Would love to know when is the next one happening . Hopefully I will be able to participate.
